CALIFORNIA; PARDON LIST.
Interesting Stat ment of the Exercise {

Interesting Stat ment of the Exercise of
the Pardonipg Power by Our Governors.
The question has been raised severa,
times during the past few months Is to
which of the Governors of California has
granted the greatest number of pardons to
convicts in our State prisons. Two letters
of inquiries for this information have been
received by the RECoRD-UNIoN within the
past two weeks, and to settle the much
mooted question the information has been
procured through a somewhat tedious
search among reports and records. The
numbers here given do not include ccm-
| mutations of sentences.
There is 10 record found that Governor
| Burnett, who was Chief Executive from
is49 to 1851, exercised the pardoning
| power. No pardons were issued by Gov
ernor McDougal who served in 1872. but
Governor Bigler, who succeeded him in 1852,
| granted two pardons in 1852, nine in 1858,
fourteen in 1854 and twenty-nine in 1855,
making a total of fifty-four during his
term Governor Johnson, during 1856,
issued eighteen, and twenty-eight in 1857,
making forty-six in all. Governor Weller
granted twenty-seven in 1858 and thirty
| eight in 1S59-total IS. Governor Latham,
who succeeded Mr.. Weller, served but a
| short time in 1860, and did not issue any
| pardons, but Governor Downey granted
twenty-five in 1860 and thirty-fou
in 1861, making ffty-nine in all.
Governor Stanford IN 1862 pardoned IL,
and in 1868 further "a; total, 35. Gov
ernor Low pardoned IL in 1864, IL in 1865,
% in 1866, and 81 in 1867, making a total
of 50. Governor Haight pardoned AZ in
1885, % in 1869, 80 in 1870, and 81 in 1871
total, 1873. Goyernor Booth, who took
Office in December, 1871, pardoned by the
| end of 1872 81, 10 in 1873, 26 in 1874, and
| 80 in 1875; total, 1874.
| Governor Booth was elected United
States Senator in 1875, and Lieutenant
Governor Pacheco succeeded him, and
served as Governor for a short time. The
reports examined fail to show whether any
of the pardons granted that year were
1 issued after the succession of Pacheco
| Governor Irwin took Office in December,
1875 and at the close of 1876 had issued
66 pardons. In 1877, so were granted; in
1878, 16; in 1879, II; giving a total of 129
during his term. Governor Perkins, who
took office in January, 1880, granted SO
pardons in 1880; Is in 1881, and 100 in
| 1882 Total, ia in his three years, Gov
ernor Stoneman pardoned 80 in 1888, IS in
1884, As in 1885, and 81 in 1886. Total, 1S2
in four years,
10 recapitulate, this gives total OF ], l94
pardons from 1852 to the commencement
of the present administration, period of
So years, or an average of SO 10th for each
year. The highest number pardoned by
any one Governor was 1S2 by Governor
Stoneman, while Governor Perkins par
doned LA, Governor Haight 1873. Governor
Booth 134, and Governor Irwin 100. The
highest number pardoned in any one year
was 120 by Governor Perkins, in 1882,
while those nearest approaching this were
Governor Irwin, 66 in 1876, Governor
Booth, 81 in 1872. and Governor SLOVENIAN
50 in 1885, and 81 in 1856.

When journal labors long and earnestly
in the realm of the fanciful to evolve a
fiction, with wit and point, we feel solicit
Gus for its success. For the sake of the
profession, failure, even by such incompet-
ency as distinguishes our adolescent neigh
Dor, is to be regretted, and evokes sincere
condolences, which we extend to our Third
street contemporary over its abortive and
altogether pitiful attempt at wit, on Satur-
day, on the subject of Suppression of
News" 1t is piteous, indeed, to see so
much intellectual labor for such sorry
birth. Had our contemporary begun nearer
home, it is possible it might have been
more successful. and would not have
been driven to the resource of fiction to fill
its columns, for the only real, simon-pure
case of suppression of news" that has
come to our knowledge was its ungenerous
bottling up of the story of a very racy and
decidedly sensational incident that had its
scene of action in the inner sanctum of our
contemporary some weeks ago, and which
recital we anxiously, but in vain. looked
| for in the columns of our eXcrutiatingly
enterprising and innocently too-previous
| neighbor. It certainly could not have es-
capped the attention of our bumptious con-
| temporary at the time, but, in the extremity
of its labor upon the "suppression-of.
| news" novelette,, it seems to have forgotten
| it. 1t owes US a debt cfgratitude for recalling
| the incident to its memory. and the fact
that it has really neglected to print the
| sequel to its recent sensational statement
which it the next day retracted-that the

been taken from house of i'll fame on

Evils of Vvater-Drinking.

Sir Henry Thompson, the great English
teetotaler physician, who refuses to treat
any one in illness who drinks alcoholic
beverages, says, nevertheless, that the only
water which is perfectly safe to drink. I'M
less it has been boiled or filtered, is natural
mineral water. In the shape of wrig-
Cling worm, invisible to the eye even when
held to the light, and only to be detected
by the microscope water-drinker may
have given more permanent lodging to
snake than ever the hospitable whale gave
to Jonah. But an animalcule will grow
and thrive on the inside of the indiscrimi-
nate water-drinker who has swallowed it
until it feeds upon his vitals and exhausts
his health and strength. The victim Won
ders why he or she feels so much dis
comfort in the stomach, loses all appe-
tite for food, or else grows ravenous,
feels nervous, depressed, and incapable
of active duty. The unknown and TN
suspected reptile stowaway, swallowed
weeks or months before in glass of
impure water, is the cause, and he who
doubts the numerous cases on record of in
anition, or suspension of life, and appar-
ent death from this cause alone must be
incapable OF weighing evidence. | have
myself known young girl who died APP
parently and remained cold and lifeless
until put in her coffin, when her mouth
opened and a small snake some few inches
long, appeared. A French doctor. who had
attended to the case, was fortunately pres
ent and drew the reptile out with his fin
gers. After brief interval the exhausted
girl began to shudder, then opened her
eyes, and was thus rescued from being
buried alive. / heard the story, not only
from her own lips, but from those of her
father and mother, and have not the
slightest doubt of its truth. Numbers of
similar cases are reported in medical Jour
mails. If the mere swallowing of indigest-
ible food will almost deprive dyspeptic of
the use of his limbs and brain. how much
more must living reptile in the stomach
paralyze and suspend the functions of the
human body.-HaVs Journal Of Health.

ACCOMMODATIONS FOR TOURIST
TRAVEL,

Statistics of travel to Florida are tele-
graphed to show that the competition of
California with Florida for summer or
winter visitors has sadly cut down the
number visiting the latter State. This
was to have been expected Not visitor
to California who has also spent season
at any of the Florida resorts, has failed to
express himself strongly to the effect that
California offers infinitely superior and
more varied attractions, and far more bene-
fclal sanitary advantages. Californians
knew this. They have known from the
beginning that no section of country upon
the continent is SO richly favored in salu-
brity of atmosphere, grandeur of natural
scenery, variety OF scene, equa5leness of
temperature, abundance of fruits and
flowers, breadth of inviting territory and
all the general features that invite the
summer or winter tourist to seashore.

And yet, the desirableness of the State
